| Popis: | We report the case of an asthmatic man in whom a solitary pulmonary nodule was discovered after an episode of self-limited hemoptysis. Infection was suspected after initial response to empirical antibiotic therapy, and the pathogen was later identified to be a rare mycobacterium. The pulmonary nodule resolved without surgery after oral quinolone therapy. Mycobacterium fortuitum should be added to the list of possible causes of solitary pulmonary nodule in Spain. |
